Condition Rating
Fair
The property was built in 1928. The interior photos show that the kitchen has been updated with stainless steel appliances and the flooring appears to be newer laminate. However, the bathroom is not shown, and the overall style of the home appears dated. While the home seems maintained, it likely requires further updates to meet modern standards. Therefore, a 'Fair' condition score is appropriate.
